Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation: $82.6M Revenue, $64.8M Program Expenses

Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation grades a B on the nonprofit efficiency rubric. 74/100 on the composite — above the national median, with strong performance on some factors balanced by middling performance on others.

Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation reported $82.6M in 2023 revenue — a mid-sized nonprofit by U.S. standards. Organizations in this bracket typically operate with a small permanent staff, project-based program structures, and modest reserves. Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation directs 80% of its expenses to programs — above the third-party-rater threshold for an efficient organization.

Five-year revenue is essentially flat — Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation's funding base appears stable but not growing. For mature organizations this is often the steady state; for younger ones it can signal a funding plateau worth diagnosing. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member. Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation sits in the cultural-nonprofit sector (Arts, Culture & Humanities). Museum, performing-arts, and cultural organizations carry distinctive financial patterns — earned revenue from ticket sales and admissions, plus a heavy reliance on endowment income and major donor cycles.
